Mashed Potato Casserole Recipe

Mashed Potato Casserole Recipe – the best creamy mashed potatoes baked into cheesy casserole with bacon! Great made ahead as well!

Let’s take boring out of mashed potatoes and turn them into one delicious side dish casserole! I took my best creamy mashed potatoes, stirred in freshly grated cheddar cheese, garlic powder and fresh chopped parsley and baked the mixture in a casserole dish. Topped with crispy bacon and more parsley, this potato bake was gone in a flash!

Another favorite recipe of mine is for the Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes. They always come out perfectly soft and fluffy and are delicious topped with sour cream, cheddar and bacon! Looking at all of potato recipes I shared on my blog, I think it’s safe to say that these two ingredients happen to be my two toppings for potatoes that I always reach for.

If you need more ways to use leftover mashed potatoes, I highly recommend my recipe for mashed potato cakes (with cheddar, of course!). They are easy and always a hit with everyone!

My favorite way to make mashed potatoes is to use a butter, sour cream and half and half mixture. They are creamy with just the right amount of tang from the sour cream. Half and half is better than just milk yet not as heavy as whipping cream. Also, for the best texture, I recommend using hand mixer to whip the potatoes up. Traditional masher works great too but I always use the mixer.
